I got curious and looked for the grid command in matplotlib/axes.py.
Looks like an inherited-from-Matlab thing. In the cla (clear axis)
function of the Axes class:
self._gridOn = rcParams['axes.grid']
#...
self.grid(self._gridOn)
and grid() passes its argument on

That's really independent of whether the grid is on or off.
Is there any explanation for it that does not have to do with Harry
Potter or the Jedi? ;)
positions of gridlines (and ticks, ticklabels, etc) are updated

If there is a substantial need to read the grid state, we could expose
it via a suitable API at the Axis level. But is this important?
Well, I'm using this for the matplotlib2tikz converter
http://github.com/nicki/matplotlib2tikz which takes a matplotlib
figure and spits out TikZ code. TikZ
This is weird:
When plotting something very simple, e.g.,
t = arange( 0.0, 2.0, 0.01 )
s = sin( 2*pi*t )
plot( t, s, : )
I thought I can check weather the grid is on or off by
gca().get_xgridlines()
-- but this *always* returns
a list of 5 Line2D xgridline objects
